Optimisation of maintenance and inspection programmes through risk analysis can be used for coating maintenance. The risk picture can be described by 1) Scenario, 2) Frequencies, and 3) Consequences, for protective coatings.  A systematic approach for optimisation of the maintenance programme has been developed.

Corrosion prevention and control for equipment is a costly and decreasingly effective activity for the Air Force, especially under scenarios to austere locations.  One concept for remedy is a modular shelter, powered with mobile generators using integrated energy sources to reduce operational costs. 

Various solutions implemented to achieve effective corrosion control in above ground crude oil storage tanks have been described to evaluate effectiveness of the implemented solutions. The effectiveness of the implemented corrosion control methods has been evaluated over a period of more than twenty years.

A case study is presented for the Life Cycle Costing (LCC) analysis to quantify and compare different corrosion mitigation methods. Strategies to minimize the costs due to corrosion are included.

The paper discusses “past” developments, “present” status, and “future” advancements of inspection, monitoring, and modelling technologies.

An improved sour corrosion model was developed based on: • A bare steel sour electrochemical corrosion model, derived from published literature • Mechanisms that affect scale performance and trigger localised corrosion • A specific elemental sulphur degradation mechanism • Corrosion mitigation strategy

Specifically, the paper examines the key first step in visualizing corrosion data: integrating different types of data from different sources into a single system by using spatial components within each dataset to correlate the information.

A commercial corrosion inhibitor was used to quantify the level of corrosion mitigation of K55 casing material in simulated acidic geothermal electrolyte at different pH values and inhibitor concentrations.

This paper looks at one major water and wastewater municipality with an established system for external corrosion control. Details of their systematic approach, how it developed and is applied, are included.

This paper demonstrates a spreadsheet tool developed to evaluate life-cycle costs for specific cases using economic principles and professionally developed cost estimates.

This paper describes a bridge coating operation and maintenance manual that was developed for the City of Vancouver which operates and maintains an inventory of 33 bridges with coated steel elements.

This paper illustrates fifty (50) Key Perfomance Indicators (KPIs) that were developed based on industry surveys and failure analysis; application of these 50 KPIs using 10 case studies and explains cost effectiveness of various KPIs.
